The improved capacity witnessed includes the following: • Significant awareness of the importance of early warning alerts among vulnerable communities. This was apparent among community members who took part in issuing alerts and conducting evacuations – in fact, communities in three of four townships most affected by Cyclone Giri had prior training in disaster preparedness, thanks to the society’s annual Community-Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) programme which is implemented with the assistance of the IFRC and is funded by the Nargis Operation.• The availability of prepositioned disaster preparedness stock in significant quantities – these enabled vulnerable communities to be assisted promptly and effectively. • With its psychosocial support capacity improved as a result of the Nargis operation, the MRCS was able to design and implementpsychosocial support activities in areas affected by Cyclone Giri.” Operations Update, No. 30, IFRC, 2 Mar. 2011, http://www.ifrc.org/docs/appeals/11/MDRMM002_OU_30.pdf accessed on 10 Nov. 2011; see also “Myanmar: Cyclone Giri Information Bulletin no. 1”, IFRC, 24 Oct. 2010, http://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/69AE63C8470B6F 0FC12577C60040FC9E-Full_report.pdf accessed on 15 Sept. 2011. 138 The NDPCC claimed that thanks to the warnings 10,435 households and 53,135 people were evacuated in advance, but no independent confirmation could be found of this claim. “Relief supplies and cash assistance provided to storm Giri victims”, NLM, 27 Oct. 2010, http://myanmargeneva.org/newseng2010.htm accessed on 21 Oct. 2011. 139 Myanmar Civil Society’s Response to Cyclone Nargis, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, Expert Roundtable, Brussels, 2 July 2009, http://www.fes-europe.eu/attachments/133_Report_Burma%20roundtable_2%20July%202009.pdf accessed on 9 Nov. 2011. 140 Listening to Voices from Inside: Ethnic People Speak, Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, June 2010, p. 348, http://www.centrepeaceconflictstudies.org/fileadmin/downloads/pdfs/Ethnic_People_Speak.pdf accessed on 28 Nov. 2010. 141 Export earnings from natural gas in the first eight months of 2010 were estimated at US $4 billion and jade exports were $1.1 billion.
